Whenever I think of Tales of Graces f I am reminded of many long weekends marathoning with friends. My friend Harry would drive over from Austin to spend the weekend and play. This was also the first time my friend Rene played a Tales of game with a group. It has been a long while…
Video Game Food
Final Fantasy XIV: Tomato Pie
Even though I have not returned to Final Fantasy XIV, I like to watch videos showing off new content like the end game dungeons. Many of the boss fights require perfect party placement and timing in order to complete the mission at hand. I am impressed by the skill the players must have in order…
Saints Row 2: Gyro
It’ll be a difficult task to raise The Saints to true powerhouse status in the city of Stillwater after the rather explosive ending of the previous game, but it’s nothing a little determination can’t fix! Well, that and maybe a quick plastic surgery to get your face back together. Why not a snack? You’ve been…
Recettear: Walnut Bread
When your adventurers are feeling weary from their travels, food is a great way to keep your traveling heroes healthy. In Recettear, there are several food items in the game that you can aid you on your journey. First, your heroes that adventure down in the dungeons can use them to recover health and mana….
Katamari Forever: Strawberry Donuts
The Katamari series is one that I find myself returning to pretty frequently. From playing the game to just listening to the amazing soundtrack, I’ll randomly pick up Katamari Forever and play a few levels every so often. The last few times I’ve played, I’ve loaded up the level where you try to get large…
The Witcher 3: Fondue
“Hrrrmmm… tracks. Look fresh, not more than 2 days old. Humanoid, too, from the looks of it. Hrhghh, let’s see where they lead.” Geralt stands upright and focuses his mind to reveal the path his target took. Red. Red steps. Slightly skewed in their trajectory, but they had a destination. “Hrhhghh. Marks on the doorposts….
Guild Wars 2: Chocolate Cherry Cake
Three years ago today Guild Wars 2 officially launched for the world to play. There was a three day head start for those who preordered the game, but August 28th was the official release day. By now you know I really like this game. From running daily fractals to following along the Silverwaste chest train,…
Guild Wars 2: Super Veggie Pizza
Over the past few months my friends and I have been running fractals in Guild Wars 2 on a pretty regular basis. I’ve always enjoyed fractals and wanted to get to the current level cap prior to the expansion. It has been quite a journey and we are now able to run a daily level…
Guild Wars 2: Steak and Asparagus
Guild Wars 2 will be celebrating its third birthday this week. Over the past three years I have accomplished many of my goals in this game, from making the Minstrel to my personal fractal level hitting 50 (just did that this weekend). As time has passed my main character has changed a few times. A…
The Sims 4: Chocolate Souffle
This week the latest “stuff pack” was introduced in The Sims 4. I don’t typically pick up these little packs up but this adds several items to the kitchen along with some new recipes. Before jumping into this expansion it was time to max out my baking skills. What better way to challenge myself than…
